On-Campus Volunteer Opportunities
The Redwood City School District (RCSD) welcomes parent volunteers and partners in a systematic process to ensure health and safety for our students. Over many years, volunteers have provided assistance to our school programs and our collective efforts to educate our students in academic, social and emotional opportunities.
Please take the PTO Volunteer Survey to sign up and learn more about volunteering with us!
LUNCHTIME LIBRARY
Our magical library is open for student visits during lunchtime. We need volunteers to help supervise the line as kids wait for their turn to enter. Shifts are 12-1 PM every day.
PICK-UP/DROP-OFF TRAFFIC DUTY
To keep the drop-off and pick-up running smoothly, parent volunteers are needed. Sign up on Konstella for the Safety/Traffic Committee to sign up for a traffic duty spot.
THURSDAY MARKET
A weekly bake sale led by parent volunteers selling snacks and baked goods to students directly after school on Thursdays. This is a wonderful community-building ritual and parents will be needed to make it a success. Send your students to school with $1 or $2 dollars on Thursdays!
GARDEN WORK DAYS
With support from a $19K grant we updated our garden to be a sustainable and dynamic space which includes an interactive garden and two separate outdoor learning spaces. Come join one of our Saturday garden work days and help with a variety of tasks--no experience required! There's even a craft for kids!
